North Texas seeks No. 5

OKLAHOMA CITY — Before filling out your tournament bracket, you probably learned that no No. 16 seed has beaten a No. 1 seed. That’s zip for 100 folks. It isn’t much better for No. 15 seeds, either, as North Texas coach Johnny Jones made his team aware before Thursday’s game against Kansas State.

“I think there are four out there and we just have to hope that now we know that’s a trivia question at times,” Jones said during Wednesday’s marathon press conference session. “Who are those four teams and we feel like we have a group of guys that look forward to hopefully being on that list.”
